SAM Worthington likes to do absolutely nothing when he has time off.

The Terminator Salvation actor — who used to be a bricklayer in Australia — makes a point of keeping his schedule free when he is not making movies because he has been criticized for working “back to back to back to back” on projects without taking a break.

“Well, I do get criticised for working too much. But I’ve got mates that are dentists and bricklayers and doctors who work 12 months of the year, so why shouldn’t I?” he said.

“You do get to the point where you burn yourself out and then you’ve got to take a year off again. That’s when I just don’t do anything. Your whole life is planned in this industry so when you get time off, you do absolutely nothing.”
